The Good: The Pacers bridged the halves with a terrible stretch of basketball, turning a 13-point lead into a 1-point deficit. After an an angry Frank Vogel time out, Indiana came out with a renewed vigor on the defensive end. Aggressive George Hill made an appearance. Indy got a few steals and fast break buckets. And most of all, outstanding ball movement (ironically highlighted by the Pacers bigs, Ian Mahinmi and Myles Turner) sparked the Pacers to a 16-4 run that looked like it was going to put them ahead for good.
Unfortunately for the Pacers, Brook Lopez led the Nets on a 34-11 run to end the game.
